The SeaGarden consortium meets in Kerteminde, Denmark, on 23–24 September 2026 for the second part of the project kick-off. It is the first time the partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark come together in person, after the online kick-off in June.
The two days pair working sessions with time on the water. Day one covers good practices for implementing community-driven regenerative marine farms — methodologies, site selection and monitoring. Day two turns to policy integration, guidance and knowledge infrastructure, and the co-design of the project’s Decision-Support Tool.

The SeaGarden consortium met online on 19 June 2026 for the project’s official kick-off, three weeks after the project started on 1 June. Partners from Lithuania, Germany, Poland and Denmark used the session to confirm governance arrangements, walk through the work plan and agree the first activities of the 36-month project.
Klaipeda University leads the project and coordinates WP1 Management & Coordination. The meeting confirmed the leadership of the three thematic work packages: Gdynia Maritime University leads WP2, building the technical knowledge base behind the Decision-Support Toolbox and Technical Toolkit; Alles Alge leads WP3, establishing the pilot Sea Gardens; and EUCC – The Coastal Union Germany leads WP4, which anchors long-term impact through the SeaGarden Knowledge Hub, capacity building and policy alignment.
